First Meeting with Dugu Bo, a Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch as a Gift

"There... should be, right?"

Snake Lance Douluo froze for a moment, then replied instinctively.

But as soon as he spoke, his thoughts returned to when Yang Yuan had absorbed his second Soul Ring not long ago.

Thinking of that world-shaking phenomenon, Snake Lance Douluo immediately became uncertain again.

How could a Martial Soul capable of causing such a phenomenon possibly be ordinary?

He had always been puzzled before.

The abilities Yang Yuan's Martial Soul had displayed did not seem worthy of causing such a phenomenon.

Now, it seemed that the ability to replicate an opponent's Martial Soul abilities was the true reason Yang Yuan's Martial Soul could trigger such a phenomenon.

And if the restrictions Yang Yuan had mentioned were true...

Then the quality of his Martial Soul naturally could not possibly be high enough to cause a heavenly phenomenon.

Qian Renxue's gaze was deep and wise.

"I had still held onto a sliver of hope, believing that the quality of my Angel Martial Soul was no worse than little brother Yang's Double Pupil."

"Now, it seems I underestimated the quality of his Martial Soul."

"From now on, the title of the continent's number one Martial Soul will likely change hands!"

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were both greatly shocked.

Porcupinefish Douluo said solemnly, "Young Master, this is a matter of great importance. I believe we should send this information to the Great Enshrined so that he may also learn of it."

"A genius like this should be kept firmly in our grasp."

Qian Renxue frowned upon hearing this.

"Do not mention this matter again, and do not act on your own initiative behind my back."

"I have my own arrangements for little brother Yang!"

Porcupinefish Douluo hurriedly said, "I obey the Young Master's command!"

Qian Renxue gazed thoughtfully into the distance, raising a hand to stroke her chin as she muttered to herself.

"It seems..."

"I need to visit Heaven Dou Academy more often!"

Heaven Dou Academy.

Yang Yuan had made a name for himself at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Overnight, he became famous throughout the academy.

Even the three Committee Members had been alerted and taken an interest in his Martial Soul.

Although Yang Yuan's Martial Soul had tremendous restrictions, its displayed effects alone still qualified it as one of the most top-tier Martial Souls in the world.

Only a handful of Martial Souls, such as the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, could compare with it.

In the days that followed, aside from his daily cultivation, Yang Yuan still made time every day to participate in one soul fight at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

And in every soul fight, without exception, his opponents were defeated by his Martial Soul and his signature soul abilities.

The name Double Pupils also grew increasingly renowned.

Unfortunately, as his fame grew greater, his odds became lower and lower.

After all, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was not running a charity.

One day, Dugu Yan came to find Yang Yuan.

"Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, let's go."

"Today, I'll take you to meet my grandfather."

Yang Yuan readily agreed, as though he could already see the Immortal Herbs beckoning to him.

Outside Dugu Manor.

Dugu Yan said to Yang Yuan, "Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, when you meet my grandfather later, just treat him like your own grandfather. There's no need to be nervous."

Yang Yuan grinned, resting both hands behind his neck. He looked completely relaxed and even had the leisure to tease her.

"Sister Dugu, does this count as meeting the parents with you?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's gaze lingered on Yang Yuan's handsome young face for a moment, and a flush appeared on her cheeks.

But when she thought of Yang Yuan's age, she hurriedly scattered those thoughts.

Yang Yuan's Younger Brother was only eight years old. What was she even thinking?

After composing herself, Dugu Yan said irritably, "Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, you really are young but full of tricks."

"Enough, come in with your sister. I hope you'll still be this sharp-tongued when you meet my grandfather later."

"Oh, and my grandfather doesn't have the best temper!"

With that, Dugu Yan walked ahead and led Yang Yuan into Dugu Manor.

Yang Yuan followed behind Dugu Yan, shrugging with an unconcerned expression.

Others might not know, but how could he not?

Although Dugu Bo had an eccentric and unpredictable temperament, he was absolutely loyal to those who had helped him.

If Tang San were replaced by Xiao Yan, Dugu Bo would definitely be a second Hai Bodong.

What a pity!

After entering the manor, Dugu Yan immediately shouted.

"Grandfather!"

"I'm back!"

Very soon, a dark green figure drifted in from outside like a ghost.

"Yanyan."

Dugu Bo answered as he appeared before Dugu Yan.

Yet his gaze settled on Yang Yuan, revealing a hint of surprise.

Although Dugu Yan had mentioned Yang Yuan's age to him before...

Seeing Yang Yuan for the first time still startled him with the latter's youthful face.

It was difficult to imagine that an eight-year-old child could resolve the Martial Soul poison that even he could not.

"You must be Yang Yuan."

"I am Yanyan's grandfather, Dugu Bo."

"This junior is Yang Yuan. Greetings, Senior Dugu." Yang Yuan respectfully bowed.

Dugu Bo casually waved a hand.

"Don't stand on ceremony with me. You cured Yanyan's Martial Soul poison, and that is an enormous favor to my Dugu Family."

"If you do not disdain this old man, then call me grandfather too, just like Yanyan."

A sincere smile appeared on Dugu Bo's somewhat gloomy face.

"Grandpa Dugu!"

Yang Yuan called out without the slightest psychological burden.

After all, Dugu Bo was certainly old enough to be his grandfather.

Upon hearing that, Dugu Bo immediately burst into laughter.

"Good, good!"

"This is our first meeting, and I didn't have time to prepare any gift for you. Take this for now, as a small token from your grandfather."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo took out a blue leather pouch from who knew where and handed it to Yang Yuan.

He introduced it as he did so. "This is called the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. It is a Storage Soul Tool."

"However, it possesses a function that other Storage Soul Tools do not have."

"It can store living creatures."

Yang Yuan's eyes immediately lit up as he took the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

As expected of Dugu Bo—how lavish!

This Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch alone was already priceless. Not even a million Gold Soul Coins could buy it.

Seeing her grandfather getting along so well with Yang Yuan, Dugu Yan could not help but smile brightly from the side.

"Alright, don't just stand there."

"Sit down and talk."

Dugu Bo laughed as well.

"Yanyan is right."

The three of them then took their seats in turn.

Dugu Bo once again thanked Yang Yuan. "Little fellow, since you call me grandfather, I'll take the liberty of calling you Xiao Yuan."

"You cured Yanyan's Martial Soul poison. To Yanyan, that is no different from giving her a new life."

"One matter is one matter. That Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch was merely a gift for our first meeting. Your reward for curing Yanyan will be separate."

"My Dugu Family has always repaid kindness, so Xiao Yuan, if there is ever anything you need from Grandpa Dugu, just say the word."

Yang Yuan grinned.

"Sure. If there's ever anything I need from Grandpa Dugu, I definitely won't be polite."

"Hahaha, that's more like it."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. Yang Yuan's forthrightness suited his tastes very well.

After some casual conversation, both host and guest were delighted.

Dugu Yan then tugged on Yang Yuan's arm, her posture almost coquettish.

"Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, hurry and take a look at Grandfather's condition."

"Grandfather has also been afflicted by Martial Soul poison. Do you think it can still be cured?"

As soon as she said this, Dugu Bo also looked toward Yang Yuan, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

But he knew full well that his condition was more than ten times worse than his granddaughter's.

Although Yang Yuan could resolve Dugu Yan's Martial Soul poison, he might not be able to resolve his own.

Thus, Dugu Bo did not hold out much hope.

However, Yang Yuan's gaze rested on Dugu Bo for only a few seconds before he smiled and spoke two words.

"Curable!"
